SOIL POLYMERS -- Super absorbent polymers recently developed that can increase water retention of soils. They can absorb hundreds of time their weight in water and are primarily used in container bound plants.
SOIL POLYMERS - Super absorbent polymers that have been around for a while, that can be added to retain moisture containers. It will absorb many times over its weight in water. Use sparingly.
In areas where water restrictions can thwart a gardener's best efforts, rosarians might want to consider using a soil polymer to maintain moisture in the soil for a longer period of time.
Before rolling the sod, use a spreader to add a thin layer of soil polymer and conditioner to the prepared green driveway. This mixture comes with the grass pavers and is designed to absorb excess moisture and keep the lawn from getting soggy.
A plant can take up only so much water at a time. Soil polymers (left) retain moisture and release it slowly back to plant roots. Add soil polymers when planting beds or containers.

Add a good potting soil and some soil polymers, which help retain water and keep the bulb hydrated. Elephant ears are heavy feeders, so add a handful of an all‐purpose 10‐10‐10 fertilizer and mix it into the soil before planting the bulb.
